During World War II, J. Carrol Naish plays an optometrist who is really a Nazi spy. A book of his that he uses to decode a Nazi spy code is stolen from him while he was walking on the San Francisco waterfront at night. A Nazi agent who comes to meet him (John Carradine) is told of the theft and they team up to try to find the book.

Well, looks like the Nazi's are making a come back. Only, they're the home-grown American variety.
GOOD MOVIE ! A PLEASURE TO WATCH ! A GOOD SAT. OR SUN. AFTERNOON MOVIE WHILE ITS TO COLD TO GO OUT ! A HOT CUP OF COFFEE , PAJAMAS AND RELAX !
J edgar nash character calls himself an occulist. I think the john carradine character is saying optimist by mistake
I can't believe the cops thought Jerry killed Kramer.
Offices open at night what a great idea.Why is it you always have to miss work to go to the doctor.
?I love The Carradine's especially their Father he is awesome such a wonderful actor?????????
Thanks for sharing the movie ……I love the wartime classics… black and white film was a art in itself
These wartime era movies are so interesting in that they blend entertainment with propaganda and advertising. Manufacturers of featured products (booze, tobacco, and coffee) help finance the movies which are used to encourage people to purchase war bonds to help insure a certain way of life and maintain the customer base for the products placed in the movie. Still common to this day.
John Carradine! What an actor … under used/under rated, a favorite of mine: THANKS FOR SHARING THIS GEM.
Lol @5:15 John Carradine" "…Are you the optimist ?" ( not optometrist) !!
Glad I watched in spite of the typically, overly critical 'comments' below; This was an enjoyable film and one of the handful in which the great John Carradine played a leading role. Some of you should move on to the newer Hollywood garbage if these 40's films don't suit you.
Just noticed "Greg's" comment below- that certainly IS J. Carrol Naish. Great actor!
I downloaded this
This movie needs a remake with Leo Gorcey and Nicole Kidman. Directed by Ed Wood, of course.
This film was made in 1944. It was just about over for Hitler and Goebbels so there was no longer need to be timorous about offending them. It made me know, by inference, that Hollywood must have been REALLY afraid of getting on the wrong side and that PRC Films could do no better than this in presenting such an important, vital subject, in this amateurish, poorly written, directed way. The script defeated even J. Carroll Naish and John Carradine who did better when they were the Hunchback and Dracula in another film. Where were the editors, research people, art directors. Surely, the folks who watched this film who had escaped the Reich must have puked into their pop corn.
No. It's him in his least interesting role since the first Batman serial.
War is helll and so is this movie.
Forgettable is right. J. Carrol Naish is not even in this movie. That's a totally different actor playing the optometrist.
I think this flic needs to stay forgotten..
